Maria C. delivered an outstanding Venice food tour — authentic dishes, quality wines, and sharp local insight. The stops were well chosen, the pacing smooth, and the experience felt genuinely local rather than touristy. Highly recommended.

Know before you book
Is this a private tour?
Yes! This is a fully private Madrid tapas tour, led by your own local guide and tailored to your pace and preferences.
How much food is included?
Plenty! This tour includes enough tapas to replace a full meal, with optional drinks along the way.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can accommodate vegetarians and non-drinkers. Due to the nature of Roman street food, gluten-free options are limited.
Why choose a private Venice food tour?
Because Venice is best explored with someone who knows where to find the real flavors—away from the crowds and into the spots locals love.
What are cicchetti?
Cicchetti are Venice’s answer to tapas: small, flavorful bites served in traditional bars across the city. Think creamy baccalà mantecato, sweet-and-sour sarde in saor, fried snacks, and more—perfect alongside a glass of local wine.
What makes this different from other Venice food tours?
This isn’t just a tasting tour. It’s a chance to experience Venice’s food culture from the inside out, guided by someone who knows the stories behind every bite.
What is the cancellation policy for private food tours?
Private food tours may be cancelled and refunded up to 7 days before the tour date. Thank you for understanding.
Can I customize the route or food stops on a private tour?
Our routes and tastings are thoughtfully planned in advance. Each stop has been chosen for its craft, character, and place in the neighborhood’s daily life. Keeping the route intact allows the experience to unfold smoothly without rushing or waiting. That way you can simply arrive and enjoy a table, seat, or bite waiting just for you. While the route itself stays the same, the rhythm is yours. Your guide adjusts the pace to suit your group.
